Zane should be a hair model! I absolutely adore milestone sessions. When parents book our Watch Me Grow packages, I get the pleasure of seeing these tiny humans growing and changing through each milestone leading up to their One Year. How awesome is that!?! With each few months they change so drastically, this is how you can remember.

So, these were taken last spring and I bought the perfect Laura Ashley dresses, fixed their hair, and we headed out for a fun session.

The entire drive there my girls are SO excited. “Mommy, I can’t wait to do pictures with you! I love my hairs and my dress. This is going to be the best day ever.”

So in my head I’m like awwwww yeah! This is going to be perfect!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Best laid plans.

We get out of the car and my oldest (4yr old) tells me she no longer wants to “do pictures”. I pull out every bribe possible. I even tried suckers! No luck. She was a bull, and she was serious. WHAT CHANGED in the two minutes from bouncing with excitement to now?

So, I got my youngest dressed and proceeded to take beautiful images of her. We all go down to my favorite bridge and I am photographing Emma. I told her that she could get in the water and play for a few pictures. Well, guess so decided she now wanted to join in.

Yep. Water. Every time.

So I negotiated that if she took a few pictures on the bridge with her sissy that she could splash in the water too.

I still call that a mom win!

Even though we started off a little rough, we played and danced and ended up with my favorite pictures ever. These are now blown up HUGE in their room and they still talk about how much fun they had that day.

So just remember, when you are at your session and your child isn’t dancing around smiling from the first few minutes, we will get them there. I am not above singing and dancing like a crazy lady for giggles

When the newborn girl that you are about to photograph has the same name as your daughter, you pull out your favorite things. Miss K rocked her newborn session like a pro! It’s SO hard to give these squishy little balls of love back to their parents after a session. I have the best job ever!
